amar_m saidFunny enough, the singer is straigh.. always wondered where he got the inspiration

What a sexy accent that is though, Im glad he sings it with his pure english accent without trying to "internationalise" it like a lot of singers do

There's an interview on youtube about it. He talks about how if 10% of the world is gay, then there must have been gay pirates and how difficult it would have been if you were gay and in love and stuck on a ship where people didn't approve of you. And that's basically where it went. So he decided to write what is basically a letter/story from one gay pirate to the love of his life about how that might have gone.
